Jelly fish are "gelatinous" what an amazing surprise!

It's evidently a case of "wrong type of snow".

Just like the jellyfish blocking a reactor because nobody took them in account.

or because they decided that having sensors to shut down automatically the reactor once in a while for any source of clogging was better engineering than building expensive protections to stop the jellyfish, and other expensive protections to stop other possible causes of clogging, and then still having to add those sensors just in case?
